To all'whom 'it may concern:

4 Be it known that ll, VICTOR DURAND, Jr.,

l a citizen of the United States, residing in Vineland, county ofCumberland, State of New Jersey, have invented a new and usefulProtector for the Necks of Bottles, of which the following is aspecilication.

My inventlon relates to a new and useful vessel for the conveyance orstorage 'of liquids and consists in providing a protector L for the neckof a vessel.

It furtherv consists of other novel details ofconstruction, all as willbe hereinafter fully set forth.

Figure l represents a vertical sectional view of a vessel for theconveyance or storage of liquids, a portion only of the glass receptaclebein sectioned. Fig. 2 represents a sectiona view of a-portion of thedevice on an enlarged scale.

l have found in practice that in the `vesl sels now in use upon themarket for the convlimited in every instance to the exact constructionshown and described but desire to make such changes as may be necessary.

Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in thefigures. v

Referring to the drawings :-1 designates a vessel for the conveyance orstorage of liquids, the same consisting of the two receptacles 2 and 3,which are preferably of glass and are suitably connected together,forming the space 4c therebetween, from which the air is evacuated orexhausted forming a vacuum between the receptacles,.the walls of whichhaving been previously supplied with a suitable coating of silver 5.

6 designates a casing which is adapted to receive the receptacles, saidcasing being preferably of metal and being formed to provide a spacebetween it and the outer receptacle inwh-ich space is adapted to beseated any suitable means for holding the receptacles in properposition. ln the present instance l have shown a corrugated cardboard 7for this purpose. rlhe neck of the casing 6 is formed with threads 8 andis turned inwardly forming thetop of the receptacle and then downwardlyaround the inner wallof the neck of the glass receptacle '2, it beingunderstood that iny this way I forni aguard or protector 9 for the neckof the receptacles, said guard extending downwardly a suitable distanceinto the neckand serving at the same time as an additional means forpositively holding the receptacles in proper position with respect tothe casing. From this it will be understood that I the necks ofthereceptacles of` glass are thoroughly protected` and are thusprevented,

from breakage which so often occurswhen the stopper or cork is insertedtherein, forv in the present construction the stopper of the receptaclewill contact. only with the metal guard.

While I have shown the guard as being integral with the casing it willof course beV apparent. that the saine can beformed sep aratelytherefrom and connected therewith in any suitable or desired manner, theprini ciple of the guard being to protect the neck of the glassreceptacle as before stated.

Having thus described my invention, what l claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is.:- i

l. In a device of the character described, receptacles suitablyconnected and having a vacuum therebetween, and a casingzfor saidreceptacles inclosing the-same and provided with a guard or protector,extending within the neck of the inner receptacle.

3. In a device of the character described, a plurality of receptaclessuitably connected together and having a vacuum therebetween,

a casing for said receptacles, means for -holding the receptacles inproper position Within the neck of said receptacles and serving asadditional means for holding said receptacles in proper position withinsaid casin'g.
